SHE DROVE A SPLENDID HORSE
And Told Great Stories of HeH
Military Record.

During the recent Grand Army re-
view in Saratoga no figure was more
conspicuoug than that of Mrs. Kate
Howe, who drove splendid horse
at the head of one of the divisions.
She was the observed of all observers
and many newspaper correspondents
filled their papers with accounts OF her
actions and sang the praises of "the
only woman who ever became a MEM
ber of the Grand Army Of the Re-
Dublic." Her war record was paraded
and many pretty things were said OF
the woman who fought in the ranks.
She claimed to have been wounded in
the battle OF Shiloh, and to have
served in the Twenty-eighth Massa-
chusetts Regiment and the Twenty
seventh Illinois Cavalry. Mrs. Howe
had made some statements concern
ing her war record that caused the
old soldiers to stop short in their
praises of her and to try to reconcile
her language with certain facts, but
the more they tried to do SO the more
hopeless became the task, and the
cold fact was forced down them that
the "only woman," ETC., was con-
siderable of fraud. The Twenty
seventh Illinois Regiment was found
to be an infantry regiment, and it had
not yet gone to the front when the
battle of Shiloh was fought. The
Twenty-seventh Massachusetts did not
participate in that battle, but was sta
toned before Charlestown at that
time. Mas. Howe claimed to be a
member of Farragut Post OF the Massa-
chusetts Department, and at another
time of Post Bartlett of Los Angeles,
Cal. Both of these claims are ground
less. In November, 1885, The National
Tribune, the Washington organ OF the
G. A. r., denounced Mrs. Howe as a
fraud on the authority of Gov. Fair.
child. 1t seems that Mr.. Howe is a
member of Bartlett Post of Los An
geles, but his wife has no connection
with it. She has passed under numer
GUS names during the past few years
and each narne has some similarity tc
that of Mrs. Kate Howe. The wom
an has claimed to be relative of Gen
Winfield Scott, and to have had al
ownership in the Scott family dia
monds. 81 Amsterdam On. " Demo

British Dinners and Wine.

Gordon said that British dinners
were the ruin of the stomach, that
they were solemn and gloomy, and
provocative of nothing good. Yet
nothing can be done in England
without dinner. The British fail to
understand that great many Ameri-
cans. especially literary men, are OF
shy temperament, do not covet gen.
eral society, and often do not feel at
home in large, miscellaneous compa-
MES and, beside, that many Ameri-
cans take long dinners with one to the
prejudice of their nerves and stomach
and general habits. My observation
of British wine, as found in hotels and
at private houses, was that it was
more injurious than the same wine
drank in the United States. The con-
trary is the idea in America. But
never drank a glass of champagne
wine which suited me between New
York and Paris. British champagne,
tor some reason, has no life in it, and
they do not know anything about
icing it it is brought to you warm,
and is fiat stuff. which leaves the
stomach next day in a state of torpor.
Sometimes you go to an English
bouse and the host is careful to tel
vou the age of the wine he is
calling out. generally found
that the more the wine wai
vaunted the worse it agreed witt
me. They do not know mucl
about claret drinking. They give yol
q Burgundy, selected without much
understanding, and sherry or MADEIRA

thew have German or French cooks
they % do not give you meat adapted t.

IN London, at dinner given to Mr.
Dana. of New York, by MIR. Brisbane
h;s correspondent: "My boy, neve
dr;rk Int one kind of wine at dinner
and never drink champagne at all

ssI remember very laughable case

with serious offense, and number
of influential friends had interceded
with Judge Longyear in the prisoners s
behalf, setting forth his previous good
conduct. Judge Longyear said he
would see about it, and asked to have
the prisoner brought into court.
"The Judge questioned the fellow in
his homely way as to his antecedents
and past history, and received nothing
but favorable replies. The young man
had never been in trouble before, he
said, was of good family, and had
committed his first crime more out ol
ignorance of the law than anything
else.
"I never shall forget how the Judge
looked as he sat in his chair on thai
occasion and asked the fellow to stand
up and receive sentence.
